Bumbles and Fairy-Tales Updates and Stacking the Shelves #65


The warmer weather has finally hit home! And school is almost out!
I'm looking forward to our schedule to being almost non-existent soon :)
More time to snooze, more time to play in the yard and garden, and of course, plenty of more time to read in the shade... or air conditioning ;) hee, hee!

In case you missed it - I have a new feature on my blog called Indie Mondays.
I'm hoping to highlight and bring attention to a few independent authors that I am interested in reading their books, but just don't have the eye-power and time to do so right now. Please take a peek, you might find a hidden treasure! 

Also, if you live children's picture books, I'm going to be reviewing a lot more soon!
Our latest one is NINJA! by Arree Chung - so CUTE! You definitely have to check out his illustrations!

It's time to do my book haul for the week... my BEA recap and haul will be up tomorrow :)

What is currently distracting me from reading...

- Went to a book club signing at a somewhat local library and got to see these lovely contemporary ladies :) 
Jennifer E. Smith, Kieran Scott, Susane Colasanti, Elizabeth Eulberg & Jen Calonita.

- Organized bookshelves and un-Hauled some books!

- Baby boy is really enjoying giving me some mini-heart-attacks lately - Trying to crawl off the bed, knocking lamps over, sitting up... oi! He's done more than his two older brothers ever did at this age!
He's 7 months old today!
